Former Tech receiver Justin Harper
made his NFL debut when he played in the Baltimore Ravens’ easy victory over
Detroit on Sunday. Harper, who did not catch any passes in the game, spent all
last season on the practice squad and spent the better part of this season on
the practice squad before being activated for Sunday’s game.

Harper became the 24th
former Tech player to play in a game this season. Eighteen of those 24 have
started at least one game.

Only two other former Hokies on NFL
rosters have not played this season – Kevin Jones, with the Chicago Bears, has
missed the entire season with torn ligaments in his ankle, while Carlton Powell
has bounced between the practice squads of the Cleveland Browns and Denver
Broncos.
